The group asked why the NCJ had not acted honorably in resigning, since he had already accepted the charges against him.
They therefore pointed out that it was right that the CJN be set aside while the prosecution case was settled.
"You can not expect the CJN to chair a committee and judge against itself. In fact, it is contrary to the doctrine of natural justice to allow the suspended NCJ to be judge in his own case.
"It would have been more honorable if he had retired on his own," the group said.
